Chattin' With a Chaser
Nov. 24th, 2008 09:10 pmI frequent a few IRC channels. One is for transgender-related chat. Every so often the delightful specimen of humanity known as the "Tranny Chaser" pops up. The ones who come onto IRC channels are generally very easy to spot as they tend to be functionally illiterate, have no clue how to communicate with another human being (especially one they may stand a chance of being physically attracted to), and desperate.
These three observations may be related.
Anyway, tonight I just had a special one. Joins the channel and immediately sends a private message, apparently to everyone with a vaguely female-looking name. I decide to play along for a bit for the hell of it. Here is a screencap of what transpired (click to expand):
They all seem to be like this, more of less. What surprises me most is the apparent assumption that it's not immediately obvious to anyone with two neurons to rub together and start an idea what they want.
That, and the way they apparently completely fail to realise that such approaches are as likely to yield a positive result as casting a fishing line into a pool of molten lava, in the hope of catching a fish.
